This video provides an in-depth look at two Chinese Type 56 SKS carbines from Arsenal 296. The presenter details the historical context and specific features of an early 'letter series' model (likely 1960) and a later Norinco-stamped model (potentially 1973 or 1963). Key distinctions like milled vs. stamped trigger guards, one-piece vs. two-piece gas tubes, and bolt/bayonet lug lightning cuts are highlighted, offering valuable insights for SKS collectors and enthusiasts.
This video features a vintage 1960 "Letter Series" SKS rifle being fired using vintage 1991 Norinco ChinaSports 7.62x39mm ammunition. The shooter describes the ammunition as soft-shooting, with all rounds firing, though one failed to fully eject. Despite some keyholing at 10 yards, the shooter expresses no regret in expending the ammunition, deeming it "garbage" and keeping the boxes for nostalgia.
